After Recklessly Courting Death, I Caught the Attention of a Yandere - Chapter 12

Actually, what Yun Dan wanted to say more was that she didn’t even know where Xiao Yueqing’s place was located. So when the time came for her to pass on intelligence, she wouldn’t even know where to go.

She couldn’t possibly be expected to go around asking for directions, could she?

That would make it obvious she was a spy.

Xiao Yueqing’s voice rang in her ears.

“Don’t worry, I’ll appear before you from time to time. After all, you still need to drink my blood to keep the poison in your body from acting up, so I’ll find you several times a month. When that happens, you’ll need to communicate with me about what you’ve discovered. If by then you’ve already found the treasure map, just hand it over to me.”

When Yun Dan heard this, she thought, “Good heavens.”

So when Xiao Yueqing wasn’t appearing before her, she would still have to keep the stolen treasure map hidden on her person while staying inside Mingyue Manor.

Wasn’t this just waiting for others to come arrest her?

But Yun Dan didn’t dare say such things in front of Xiao Yueqing. Who knew if this great demon lord would come up with some methods to torment her?

Yun Dan could never forget how she had almost been strangled to death by him when she first transmigrated to this place.

This man was moody and unpredictable. The manor even had a patch of poisonous flowers planted in it. Who knew when he might think of a way to throw her under those passion flowers—then she’d really be done for.

Therefore, Yun Dan nodded without hesitation and said solemnly, “Alright, great demon lord, I definitely won’t disappoint your expectations. But you need to tell me about what Mingyue Manor is really like. If I don’t know anything about it, how am I supposed to infiltrate Mingyue Manor and then get along well with those people?”

After all, she didn’t have prophetic abilities, and the system couldn’t help her.

The system had brought her here and then never bothered with her again. Yun Dan was completely in a free-range state, so when necessary, she still had to make thorough preparations. Getting clues from this great demon lord was the right choice.

As the saying goes, know yourself and your enemy, and you can fight a hundred battles without defeat.

Xiao Yueqing thought about what Yun Dan had said and felt it made some sense, so he casually picked up a painting from the table and handed it to Yun Dan.

“This is Dongfang Wuchen, the young manor lord of Mingyue Manor. His father is the old manor lord, Dongfang Jue.”

Yun Dan took the painting that Xiao Yueqing handed her and glanced at it.

On it was a portrait of a young man. Although portraits of this era didn’t look very realistic, even with this painting style, one could still tell that this was a standard handsome man.

“Dongfang Wuchen…”

Yun Dan suddenly remembered that wasn’t this person also another attackable male lead in “Conquering That Beautiful Man”?

Dongfang Wuchen: Young manor lord of Mingyue Manor, twenty years old, son of the former martial arts alliance leader Dongfang Jue.

Although the original artwork was quite good back then, it ultimately wasn’t Yun Dan’s preferred type, so at the time she hadn’t paid much attention to Dongfang Wuchen.

Now she felt somewhat regretful.

Why had she liked Xiao Yueqing’s original artwork and character setting so much that she ignored information about the other male leads?

If she had known there would be such a development, she would have definitely opened her titanium alloy eyes wide and memorized all of Dongfang Wuchen’s information inside and out, and even written it down several times from memory.

If nothing else, at least knowing him thoroughly would mean knowing his personality and preferences, so she could cater to his interests.

However, to avoid making Xiao Yueqing suspicious that she was spacing out, Yun Dan put on an act.

“Tsk tsk tsk, this young manor lord really is a talented and handsome man. At twenty years old, I’m curious whether he’s married and had children yet. Surely someone so good-looking wouldn’t go unwanted?”

Of course, this was originally just Yun Dan’s casual remark.

Who would have known that the great beauty Xiao would actually answer seriously.

“What, have you taken a fancy to him? If you have, that’s not impossible, but you still need to help me find the treasure map. After the task is completed, I said I’d give you freedom. Whatever you want to do, I won’t interfere.”

Yun Dan silently complained in her heart—where did she say she had taken a fancy to Dongfang Wuchen? Couldn’t he tell it was just polite conversation?

“No, I haven’t. Besides, even if I liked him, he might not necessarily like me back.”

A folding fan gently tapped her on the head.

Yun Dan couldn’t help but cover her head and mumbled, “Why are you hitting my head again? What if you knock me stupid? Then who’s going to be your spy? Please, could you, this employer, treat your spy a little better? I’m your only spy!”

She had to emphasize her importance to Xiao Yueqing.

Lest this person pull a trick like crossing the river and demolishing the bridge, going back on his word after getting the treasure map.

She didn’t want to easily lose her life here.

Besides, Yun Dan felt she needed to make the great demon lord value her.

Otherwise, if she encountered danger later, he could still save her.

After all, even with eyes closed, one could guess that she was his only usable spy. Otherwise, would he really let a person with no background, connections, or skills be his spy?

Thinking of this, Yun Dan instantly lost her previous sense of panic and instead straightened her back.

Xiao Yueqing naturally noticed these small changes in Yun Dan.

At this moment, he actually felt somewhat envious of Yun Dan.

An eighteen-year-old girl—eighteen really was such a good age.

He had almost forgotten what he was like when he was eighteen.

This time, Xiao Yueqing didn’t want to be as fierce as before, but instead nodded thoughtfully and said, “What you say does have some merit. After all, you really are my only spy, so after the task is completed, besides freedom, little spy, what else do you want? Money? I have plenty of that.”

Yun Dan couldn’t help but want to roll her eyes.

She thought, “Big brother, is this top-level showing off?”

Although she knew Xiao Yueqing was very wealthy, saying it out loud was another matter entirely.

Seeing her dazed expression, Xiao Yueqing unconsciously found it somewhat amusing.

He suddenly reached out and patted her head, saying, “How about this—after you find the four treasure maps and give them to me, I’ll let you see my face. Aren’t you curious about what I look like? I can only say I won’t disappoint you. Although this appearance has brought me countless troubles, I must admit this face is extremely good.”

For a moment, Yun Dan didn’t know what exactly Xiao Yueqing was showing off.

Showing off his vast wealth?

Or showing off his face?

However, Xiao Yueqing obviously knew about her inner curiosity, otherwise he wouldn’t have brought up his face.

She was indeed wondering what Xiao Yueqing looked like.

But compared to his appearance, money was obviously more important.

So Yun Dan refused without hesitation.

“Although I know you’re good-looking and am indeed curious about your face, comparatively speaking, money is more important, so I choose the money.”
